DocF225 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Was out shooting with the new Canon and went to the river for some shots. Bannerman's Island "Castle" actually it belonged to one of the first "Army - Navy" store owners in the state. He started reselling stuff left over from the Civil War and went from there. Built this place to store his merchandise and he also had a house on the island. The River Valley looking south. Around the bend to the right is West Point.

Matusalem Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Nice pic, Doc. I don't want to take away from your nice pics but I'd like to add to it. Here's some shots of the Royaliste on it's way down the hudson I took last year by upper Manhattan. They just made their way through the Erie canal and re-rigged the masts in Haverstraw for their journey towards the Carolinas. What's with the California flag, I know not.
Stynky Tudor Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What's with the California flag, I know not. Well where's the ship's Captain? Isn't Gary still on the Pub? The flag probably has something to do with her home port being San Francisco, CA, or at least that it use to be.
DocF225 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 Nice shots. Isn't that Grants Tomb in the middle of the skyline n shot 1? Doc Wiseman - Ship's Physician, Stur.. er...

Built this place to store his merchandise and he also had a house on the island. Fantastic. The kind of place I could call home... So what model Canon did you buy? I picked up a new camera at the beginning of the year. Went with a Sony Sure Shot. And I'm not so sure about it. I miss my Olympus UltraZoom. I think it took better pictures. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
